"This Narrow Road" by Michael Wayne Wright: Walking the Line With Everything You've Got


Some roads aren't easy, often shaped by our daily decisions, requiring adjustments in order to reach our destination. That is what Michael Wayne Wright's "This Narrow Road - Remix" is all about. It addresses how we often need to choose between comfort and calling at every corner. How fatigue makes those detours incredibly tempting. 

Michael Wayne Wright - This Narrow Road - RemixThe message of this song is built around the daily challenges of following Christ, and uses a rock vibe to mirror the struggles we face. The heavy guitar chords and driving drums mimic our challenges, the worn-out feet, a head that wants to quit, and a heart that keeps fighting. Does it sound familiar? Have you ever questioned if you have what it takes to finish? Do you doubt if you're able to keep choosing the right path when everything around you is pulling the other way? 

If that is the case, please dismiss those doubts immediately. Michael reminds us that we can step onto the narrow road and place our trust in God to reshape tomorrow. So even when you're crawling more than walking, keep your eyes fixed forward. Remember that Jesus walked this path first, with thorns on His head, so we will never face the dark alone. That changes everything! 

Sure, the struggle doesn't disappear, but the reason and motivation to keep going does. When we have Jesus by our side, we have the ability to chase our highest calling without having to look back at our past. That is His promise to us! "I ain't gonna turn to the left or right — Jesus is the narrow road," a life posture that helps us to walk boldly toward our God-designed goal with unshakable confidence. 

Is the weight of yesterday slowing you down? Breathe deep and stride forward, and keep your focus on Jesus. Claim your freedom today! Faith gets stronger each time you reject any form of compromise and embrace His grace. So, this song is for you! "On the narrow road I ride, on the narrow road I die - doesn't matter where it leads, Jesus ever by my side."

(Related scripture: Matthew 7:14; Hebrews 12:1; Isaiah 30:21; Proverbs 4:27)

Background:

This song is all about the choices we make every day. It conveys the struggle with daily decisions and the road that we want to take. This narrow road is really about a journey toward a goal.

A great solid rock vibe with strong Christian lyrics.

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
